GAM3R 7H30RY, the networked book, goes live
We're not sure what impresses us more, the content or the presentation. GAM3R 7H30RY "is a fascinating look at video games as allegories of the world we live in." We dig the alternate perspective, and even if you are not into the philosophical nature of the book, do check it out for references to your favorite games (Rez, Katamari Damacy, The Sims, etc.). We enjoyed what we've read through so far.What interests us almost as much is the outlet by which the book has been published. GAM3R 7H30RY is a networked book -- it exists as a website, with each chapter and paragraph given its own forum where people can post comments and discuss the words at hand (not a novel concept, but definitely a novel approach to book publishing). Each of the 9 chapters consists of 25 paragraphs, meaning you have 225 different areas to leave your mark. We're interested to see what, if any, community comes up around the concept.
